Answer:

y = -1/4x - 6

→Step-by-step explanation:

Well it is a negative slope with a y intercept of -6.

And to spring the slope we need to use the following formula.


(y^2-y^1)/(x^2-x^1)

So we need 2 points on the line to use the formula.

(-4,-5) (0,-6)

-6 - -5 = -1

0 - -4 = 4

So the slope is -1/4.

Hence, the equation is y = -1/4x - 6
